The Red Sox aquired cather Juan Apodaca from the Dodgers for cash. He has only played 2 games in AAA and 3 games in AA. Apodaca hit .259 with 8 HR in 58 games in Single A ball last season. He was hitless in his 3 game is Double A ball. Boston is in need of a backup catcher for this season and the future but Apodaca is not ready to fill in yet. His signing makes it more likely that the Red Sox will re-sign Doug Mirabelli for one year. Mirabelli is 37 and will help with Wakefield in what most likely is his last year.
